FTA:
And what they found was disappointing but not exactly surprising: about half of the health recommendations had either no evidence behind them or they actually contradicted what the best-available science tells us. That means about half of what these TV doctors say to their millions of satellite patients is woo, and potentially harmful and wasteful woo at that.

I can't stand that guy. He sells his name to the highest bidder. As soon as anyone says anything about Dr. Oz, I just stop listening.0

But... Garcinia Camembert!0

I saw the show once. He was selling storage containers, but doing it as if it were medical advice, lol. Like, medically speaking, this storage container was superior to other storage containers.
It's just wrong. They ought to revoke his license.0 -

Maybe it was similar to the Beachbody 21 day fix (or something like that), where you put all your food in their little containers for portion control?
Sometimes I feel like the only freak in the world that has never seen Dr. Oz.0 -

Infotainment. More entertainment than vetted information. I'd add the twenty-four hour news channels to this too. I avoid them all, but can't completely since they are on infinite repeat - even at the gym.[url="http://www.vox.com/2014/12/17/7410535/dr-oz-That means about half of what these TV doctors say to their millions of satellite patients is woo, and potentially harmful and wasteful woo at that.0 -

he has a new show premiering on discovery fit & health called Surgeon Oz, and it's all about these life threatening surgeries he's completing and people who he's saved. If it were anyone else I would take is seriously...but it screams "For realz I'm a real doctor!" to me0

Oh yeah, not even going to start in on news channels. A lot of that is like reading rooster intestines as well.0

For organ donations? Or is that where Dr. Oz stores his brain while filming?

From what I've been told, he's actually a competent surgeon. I have no first hand experience though.0 -

I haven't purposely avoided seeing him, I just rarely watch TV during the day. I googled him once just to see who he was after my sister started taking some coffee bean supplement he promoted.0
